[PATCH v2] rev-list-options.txt: update --all about HEAD

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <hidden>
Date: 2017-02-08 06:06:59
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

This is the document patch for f0298cf1c6 (revision walker: include a
detached HEAD in --all - 2009-01-16).

Even though that commit is about detached HEAD, as Jeff pointed out,
always adding HEAD in that case may have subtle differences with
--source or --exclude. So the document mentions nothing about the
detached-ness.

 v2 drops "detached".
